Setting up, administering, and maintaining an ESOP can be challenging. The extensive resources available with NCEO membership have helped Metcalf for more than a decade to identify potential pitfalls in plan design and administration and, just as importantly, have helped us to see where we got things right.
Patrick O'Brien, Metcalf Archeology
We have found our NCEO membership to be an invaluable resource, from an educational standpoint through articles, newsletters and webinars, to specific, one-on-one insight provided through emails and phone conversations directly with staff members.
Shelly Wells, Cornerstone Credit Services, LLC
Along with being a very strong advocate for ESOPs, the NCEO maintains an impressive library of publications that are extremely helpful in communicating to participants and assisting in plan administration.  We refer to these sources often and the NCEO monthly newsletter keeps us aware of current trends, laws, and court cases that impact ESOPs.
